“…Pitson et al 16 and El-Sharief et al 17 discussed a potential ambiguity for lymph nodes at the level of the tracheal bifurcation below the level of the superior vena cava-azygos vein junction, and grouped lymph nodes anterior to the tracheal bifurcation with the lower paratracheal station 17 . However, Lee et al 18 reported that the changed definition between N1 and N2 diseases by IASLC map works well in classifying patient prognosis.…”

Accurate lymph node staging of lung cancer is crucial in determining optimal treatment plans and predicting patient outcome. Currently used lymph node maps have been reconciled to the internationally accepted International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) map published in the seventh edition of TNM classification system of malignant tumours. This article provides computed tomographic illustrations of the IASLC nodal map, to facilitate its application in day-to-day clinical practice in order to increase the appropriate classification in lung cancer staging.
